Travel

Professors and students will fly together to Rome after spring classes, in early May.
A chartered bus will transport program participants to Spoleto (about an hour and
a half from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport). All class-based travel--including the flight
from Atlanta to Rome, all bus and train fares related to class, and all museum and
site entrance fees--is covered by the program. Travel not covered by the program includes
any weekend trips, which the students may choose to finance and schedule on their
own.

In order to travel to Italy, students need a valid U.S. passport. Any student holding
a passport from another country must ensure that it will allow them entrance into
Italy. The program is not responsible for acquiring Visas for foreign students.

"My summer study abroad in Italy--literally my first time out of the southern United
States--was the beginning of many journeys for me. The experience of discovering a
new culture opened up a future for me that I never would have imagined. Because of
that summer, I went on to spend a year in the Czech Republic as an exchange student,
and also won a Fulbright grant to teach literature in the Slovak Republic. These international
experiences taught me more about the world and my place in it than I can easily express.
Had I not taken that first step by way of my Study Abroad Italy summer, I would not
be where I am today."
